it's only a negative outcome if it comes at the expense of the effort to promote equality and reduce bias, otherwise it's just a fact.  you can recognize that the idea of race as a social construct is complete garbage and still love your fellow man.

I thought everyone agreed race is an immutable characteristic.  Like, isn't that why racial discrimination is so bad compared to other forms of discrimination?

I mean:

Quote
In 1890, the state of Louisiana passed the Separate Car Act, which required separate accommodations for blacks and whites on railroads, including separate railway cars.[6] Concerned, a group of prominent black, creole, and white New Orleans residents formed the Comité des Citoyens (Committee of Citizens) dedicated to repeal the law or fight its effect.[7] They persuaded Homer Plessy, a man of mixed race, to participate in an orchestrated test case. Plessy was born a free man and was an "octoroon" (of seven-eighths European descent and one-eighth African descent). However, under Louisiana law, he was classified as black, and thus required to sit in the "colored" car.[8]

what does "exposed to colorblindness" mean? As in they only interact with one race?

multicultural and colorblindness, as used in the blurb, are defined in the blurb right above the blue part.

I like to quote my good buddy Michael Tait in troubling times such as these.

Quote
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
When the bullets are flying, that's when I'm at my best

I’m struggling with the entire statement tbh, but I’m really struggling with the part suggesting that “decreased belief that racial equality is a problem” is apparently counter to the concept of multiculturalism.

Yes.  Interesting article.

I think identity politics are bad because identity politics devalue individuals' agency and lead to more division based on race, which I view as arbitrary.  I think the biases that encourage identity politics are bad for the same reasons (e.g. white racists).  If the response to racial bias is more racial bias, I don't think that helps anything.

I also think the twitter polls at issue in the article are a little silly.  I think a possible (and imo, the proper) response to demographic shits is to be neutral about them.

Yeah the polls seem pretty silly but that's kind of the point. And as the article mentioned, white males is the only group that doesn't have to engage in identity politics, so it makes sense that you wouldn't like it.

Quote
White men bridle at the notion of being part of a tribe or engaging in identity politics. (Ahem.) Alone among social groups, they are allowed the illusion that they have only their own bespoke identity, that they are pure freethinkers, citizens, unburdened and uninfluenced by collective baggage (unique and precious “snowflakes,” if you will).

No one else is allowed to think that — at least not for long, before they are reminded again that they are, in the eyes of their country, little more than their identity, their asterisk. No one else gets to pretend their politics are free of identity.
